Prosecutor Edward Brown QC told the court: “On August 4 last year a handgun
was recovered in Ferry Lane in Tottenham, north London.

“It had been in the possession of a man named Mark Duggan. The gun was loaded
– it had a bullet in its magazine.

“The evidence demonstrates that that gun at that scene had been passed to Mark
Duggan by this defendant, Kevin Hutchinson-Foster, shortly before the
minicab in which Mark Duggan was travelling was stopped by police in Ferry
Lane in Tottenham Hale.

“There in Ferry Lane Mark Duggan was shot and fatally injured by the police as
a result of his possession of that gun and what he was thought to be about
to do with it

“The firearm was a BBM Bruni Model 92 handgun. It had been modified so that it
would fire 9mm bullets – a lethal firearm as you will hear.

“The charge this defendant faces is the supply or transfer of that gun to Mark
Duggan.”

Mr Brown added: “Kevin Hutchinson-Foster, some 12-15 minutes before Mark
Duggan was stopped, supplied that gun to him, Mark Duggan having travelled
to the defendant to collect it as had been arranged.”
